Meaning & Origin

Navaeh is a girl's baby name of American origin, a variant spelling of Nevaeh, the word 'heaven' spelled backwards — one of the most creative naming inventions of the 21st century, popularized when rock musician Sonny Sandoval named his daughter Nevaeh in 2000.

Navaeh/Nevaeh climbed from nowhere to the top 50 U.S. girl names within years of its invention — a remarkable story of organic naming creativity. It's a name that carries its spiritual aspiration in a backwards mirror, a child who is heaven itself on earth.
